Copy as URL

Working with files I often find myself in need of creating some sort of listings. There is number of good text editors that help you browse and create hyperlinks to local files but for my needs I often use simple text editors to hand code html snippets and I thought it would be nice to have ability to quickly copy file location in correct link format. I googled for URN and URI to URL converter but came up with no simple solutions so I decided to write my own extension to Windows Explorer and hope you find it useful too.
CopyAsUrl enhances Windows Explorer by adding context menu that when activated forms fully qualified URL link from selected file or folder on local drive (or flash drive).
To obtain local URL path simply right-click on selected file or folder in Windows Explorer and chose "Copy As URL" menu item.
The URL will be copied to clipboard and can be pasted to any text editor or application.
Program was written in C#, provides it's own install and uninstall, contains no spyware and is absolutely free! You can download setup.exe below.
You must have .NET Framework 4.0 installed for CopyAsUrl to work. You can download framework from Microsoft's site.
Windows XP and Vista / 32bit
